Napa Cabbage and How to Put It to Good Use

Napa Cabbage is a tasty low calorie healthy food, light in texture and subtle in flavor. Everything you need to know about Napa Cabbage is here: where to buy it, how to store it, how to prepare it, and basicaly how to cook with it.

As its name suggests, napa cabbage is indeed a cabbage (more specifically, it’s a type of Chinese cabbage and it’s sometimes simply called Chinese cabbage, but that gets to be confusing rather quickly, so it’s best to stick with napa), and that puts it in the enormous brassica family. One quick glance will tell you that a napa cabbage looks different from a standard green cabbage — its thick white ribs (1, as shown below) and crinkly yellow or pale green leaf blades (2, below) are hard to miss.
